Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

I did promise you another way to use up your leftover pumpkin as well as Pumpkin Pie, and today we are going to make cupcakes!

Pumpkin Spiced Cupcakes

Ingredients:

120g flour

1 tsp cinnamon

1tsp ginger

1tsp nutmeg

1tbsp pumpkin puree

140g caster sugar

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Pinch of salt

1 egg

40g butter

140ml milk

For The Buttercream:

140g Butter

280g Icing Sugar

2 tbsp nutella

Start off by adding all cupcake ingredients apart from egg into a bowl and mixing thoroughly. Beat egg then add to mixture, fold gently. Bake for 15 minutes at 190C.

Leave to cool and make the buttercream by mixing butter and icing sugar. To pipe the cupcakes: use a piping bag and draw streaks of nutella. Fill with the buttercream, and as you pipe the cream onto your cakes they will come out with streaks of chocolately goodness. Enjoy!
